Short videos for your new NCERT maths book, topic by topic

PrepShorts is a study companion for the NCERT books. Each section of a chapter gets a short video made from those exact pages — the same figures, the same activities, the same words — followed by the book’s own pages, the key terms and a five-question check.

Stuck on a topic? Watch a short video that goes through the same pages of your NCERT book, then check yourself with five questions.

A whole topic, free and with no account — exactly as a student sees it.

The problem, plainly

The book is excellent. Most students read it alone.

Every year, millions of students open the same NCERT textbooks. Some have a tutor on call and a shelf of guidebooks; many have only the book itself. The book deserves better company than that — its figures are meant to be read aloud, its activities are meant to be done with real erasers and real string, and its section numbers are a map that most students never learn to use.

What’s missing isn’t content. It’s someone to walk through the pages with you: to read Fig. 5.5 the way it was drawn, to stop at Activity 5.1 and say actually do this, to ask five questions at the end and tell you honestly whether the idea landed. PrepShorts is that someone, built as software — one short video per section of the book you already own.

How it works

1

Join with your school code

Your school registers once; you enter its code and your account joins your class. No code yet? Join on your own and link your school later.

2

One video per topic

Each topic’s video follows the book’s own pages — same figures, same activities, same words. The book stays open; the video walks you through it.

3

Check yourself, then revise

A small check closes each topic; chapter tests when you’re ready. PrepShorts keeps your map — what’s covered, what’s weak, what to revise next.

What sits on a topic page

Everything one section of the book needs, in one place

The video
Cut to the book’s landmarks

8–13 minutes, sectioned exactly as the chapter prints — every marker a figure, an activity or an idea, every one clickable.

The pages
Excerpt & figures beside it

The textbook passage with its page numbers, and the figures drawn large enough to actually read — Fig. 5.5 as the book meant it.

The check
Five questions, honest answer

Instant feedback per question. Video watched + check passed = topic covered; anything under 60% goes on the revision list.

Key terms
One line each, in the book’s own words

The section’s vocabulary in a glance — each term defined the way the chapter defines it, not the way a dictionary would.

Mind these
The known misconceptions

Every section has famous wrong turns — “a broken scale is useless” — named before they cost marks.

Your margin
Doubts, and a rating

Doubts sent to your teacher from the exact moment of confusion — answered once, for the whole class — and a quick rating that tells us if the page taught.

A sitting, described

Fifteen minutes, one topic, properly closed

No feed, no autoplay, no streaks. A session is the length of a topic, and it ends when the topic does — with the dashboard cell filled and the next topic waiting for tomorrow. Parents: the for-parents page walks through exactly this.

0:00Open the next topic — the video starts at the section you’re on
3:25The video reads Fig. 5.5 with you — the book is open beside the phone
8:35Activity 5.1 — pause the video, do it with a real ruler, press play
12:00Five check questions, instant feedback, one honest score
14:30Topic covered — the cell fills, the dashboard’s next topic and revise list update, done for today

One companion, three seats

What we are building for

Three things a study companion has to get right

PrepShorts is in pilot. When schools have used it for a term we will quote them here, by name and with their permission.

A question asked at 9 pm, from the exact second of the video, should be answered once — and read by the whole class in the morning.

Why doubts are pinned to a timestamp and answered publicly

A child who is stuck should be told which topic, not which chapter — and should be able to open it in one tap.

Why the weak-topic map is per topic, not per chapter

A term report should be written from what actually happened, three weeks before the test rather than three weeks after.

Why the school dashboard is built on checks, not on logins

Classes 6 to 12, chapter by chapter

Mathematics, Classes 6 to 12 — Ganita Manjari for Class 9, Ganita Prakash for Classes 6 to 8, and the Class 10, 11 and 12 books — 708 topics across 88 chapters. Videos are live for Classes 6 to 12 today, and all 708 of those topics have their video, their pages and their check. Class 9 covers Ganita Manjari Part I, chapters 1 to 8; Part II, chapters 9 to 14, is coming. PrepShorts is mathematics only; we would rather finish one subject properly than start four. The What’s covered lists every chapter we cover and every one still to come, video time included.

Asked constantly

The four questions every family asks first

Search the full FAQ — 44 answers
Is this aligned to the NCERT textbook?

Built from it, page by page. Videos cite the book’s figures and sections by number, activities are the book’s activities, and nothing is taught that the chapter doesn’t teach.

Does it replace tuition, or the teacher?

No — it’s a companion. Teachers see progress, answer doubts and decide what the class revises. PrepShorts makes sure every topic has been properly met before the exam does.

What does it cost?

Individual student accounts are free and stay free. A school pays ₹25,000 a year + GST for all its classes, and schools joining now pay ₹15,000 + GST for their first year; teachers join through their school. Any change to that will be announced to schools in writing and in advance — and no study history is ever locked behind a payment. There is no advertising.

Is my child’s data safe?

We collect the minimum, sell nothing, show progress only to the student, their teachers and their school, and hold student data under India’s DPDP Act. The privacy policy and child-safety page spell it out.
